14. We should be able to grow whatever plants we want.

It's ridiculous that the government can outlaw a biological process. No wonder we have global warming/climate change.

Let all of the growers out of prison/jail. If they feel like they have to make something illegal; make the process (converting plants to dangerous drugs) illegal.

Growing plants should be a constitutional right. It's ridiculous that we have an entire economy built around incarcerating people for interacting with a plant.

Over-turning prohibition did more damage to the mob than it did to any other group. We need a U.S. Constitutional amendment granting citizens the right to grow any and all plants. In a few years we'll look back on this and see it for the huge favor for special interests that it is.

BTW, I'm a gardener; not a stoner. We can own assault rifles, but can't grow certain plants; it makes no sense.
